Giving children a sporting chance
We believe that all children should be entitled to equal opportunity, that every child has talent to a greater or lesser extent, and that it is how
the game is played, rather than the outcome of the contest, that is important.
Background:
Established in 1992, the Knysna Sport School continues to seek to be of support to all the schools in Knysna and the surrounding area and to compliment their efforts by offering additional expertise, opportunities and facilities for all our children.
Mission Statement:
The promotion of sportsmanship, fellowship and self respect among children in Knysna through the medium of a healthy sporting ethos and environment, and the development of their skills in their chosen sport.
Our Objective:
The object of the Sport School is to establish a facility which supports and encourages local schools and their boys and girls in their sporting activities, irrespective of their colour or background, their social or financial standing or the opportunities that they enjoy.
What we offer:
- Term time coaching in squash, cricket, hockey, golf, tennis, soccer, cycling, archery and bowls to boys and girls from the primary schools in Knysna and surrounding area
- An extensive program of holiday sports events which bring numerous visiting teams to Knysna to play against our children
- We host visiting teams from abroad
- A highly successful development program for children from previously disadvantaged communities who enjoy all these aspects on offer
- Outreach program
Our development program:
Some 250 children from the historically disadvantaged communities, participating in the nine sporting disciplines mentioned above, make up this aspect of our enterprise.
Their free access to all practice sessions and events includes transport to and from fixtures and entry to our many festivals and tournaments.
